Every major city in Texas (other than Austin) is allowing residential and commercial construction to continue. In fact, most major cities across America are allowing projects to move forward - except for Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, Austin and maybe a small handful of others.

According to a story in the biz journal, some projects are going to continue to work until a city official comes and closes them down in person. Several development groups are also calling on Gov. Abbott to step in and force the city, and Travis county, to alter their orders.
